有人认为，近几十年来，人类在热中性环境中度过的时间有所增加。本文考察了工业化国家冬季国内气温历史变化的证据。室内热舒适的未来发展轨迹也进行了探讨。虽然不同研究的方法差异使得比较数据和准确估计室内家庭温度历史变化的绝对规模变得困难，但数据分析确实显示出上升趋势，特别是在卧室。在一些国家，由于20世纪70年代的能源危机，需求温度暂时下降，以及最近建筑存量的变化，室内冬季住宅温度的变化可能进一步加剧。例如，在联合王国，现场测量数据表明，从1978年至1996年，平均住宅冬季室内温度每十年可能增加1.3°C。本综述论文的研究结果还在其对人类健康和福祉的意义的背景下进行了讨论。特别是，历史上的室内温度趋势结合低环境温度、身体能量消耗和体重增加之间的联系的证据进行了讨论。
It has been argued that the amount of time spent by humans in thermoneutral environments has increased in recent decades. This paper examines evidence of historic changes in winter domestic temperatures in industrialised countries. Future trajectories for indoor thermal comfort are also explored. Whilst methodological differences across studies make it difficult to compare data and accurately estimate the absolute size of historic changes in indoor domestic temperatures, data analysis does suggest an upward trend, particularly in bedrooms. The variations in indoor winter residential temperatures might have been further exacerbated in some countries by a temporary drop in demand temperatures due to the 1970s energy crisis, as well as by recent changes in the building stock. In the United Kingdom, for example, spot measurement data indicate that an increase of up to 1.3°C per decade in mean dwelling winter indoor temperatures may have occurred from 1978 to 1996. The findings of this review paper are also discussed in the context of their significance for human health and well-being. In particular, historic indoor domestic temperature trends are discussed in conjunction with evidence on the links between low ambient temperatures, body energy expenditure and weight gain.
